Unpacking the Model 3224 IpDSLAM
Inspect the shipping carton for external damage. Note any damage before removing the container contents.
Report equipment damage to the shipping carrier immediately for claim purposes. Save all packing materials in
case you need to return an item to the factory for servicing.
• The IpDSLAM comes with the following items:
• The Model 3224 Packet Digital Subscriber Loop Access Multiplexer (IpDSLAM)
• An RJ45-to-RJ45 cable for use with the console and Ethernet ports
• A DB9-RJ45 (EIA-561) adapter for connecting a PC's serial port to the console port
• Rack mounting kit with rack ears and mounting hardware
Note Power cables are shipped separately from the Model 3224.
IpDSLAM chassis installation
Do the following:
1. If you have not done so already, remove the IpDSLAM from its shipping container.
Note The IpDSLAM should be placed as close as possible to the termina-
tion jack provided by the Telco. Avoid installing the IpDSLAM in a
location where the power cords or network interface cables could be
accidentally disconnected. The location should be well ventilated. Do
not block the IpDSLAM’s cooling vents.
2. If you are installing the DACS in a 19-inch rack, go to step 3. Otherwise, place the DACS at the desired
location, then go to “Cable installation” on page 16.
3. Install the rack mounting ears onto the IpDSLAM using the mounting hardware provided.
4. Place the IpDSLAM at the desired position in the rack.
